# Clino

> Clino is the Swiss platform for legally employing household help — cleaners, nannies, babysitters, au pairs, caregivers, gardeners, private chefs and tutors. It guides private households through registration with the AHV compensation office, social-insurance contributions (AHV/ALV/UVG/FAK), withholding tax, accident insurance (UVG/VAVplus), payroll and employment contracts, and helps domestic workers understand their rights and pay. Content covers all 26 cantons and is published in German (default), French, English, Spanish and Italian. German is the canonical language; every URL below also exists under /fr/, /en/, /es/ and /it/ with translated slugs.
